Format: Netflix
Viewing: Unknown
Decade: 1970's
It's been decades since I last watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975). I'm glad I took the break, because it was genuinely fun watching the movie again. Honestly, the movie was something both myself and every nerd around me had managed to kind of ruin at some point after high school.
The version on Netflix looks amazing - literally the best I'd ever seen it - and while I still knew every joke, it was fun to see them again and see Monty Python at the height of their powers.
And, yeah, it was weird to realize how many things I say by reflex these days that came from quoting the movie once upon a time, so often, it seems, I'd forgotten this was where it came from. (example: I'd forgotten the origins of "and there was much rejoicing", which I do drop from time to time.)
Anyhoo... you've all seen this numerous times. I assume you either love it or hate it at this point, and I hope nerds didn't ruin it for you in the long, long ago. But if they did, give it a go again - it's still remarkably great.
